Keith Boykin

This is a brilliant, well-written, well-organized book. Boykin does an amazing job of tackling some of the biggest things you'll hear touted by conservatives, and gives excellent arguments debunking them. There's a lot of information within these pages, and it's easily accessible even if you don't have a history background or if you don't consider yourself big on politics. I can't say I'm the most articulate person when it comes to debating, but I feel like this book has given me some show more excellent points I can bring up in conversation, and feel confident doing so. If I could, I'd have everyone who doesn't understand why race is such an important factor read this book. It might just help change some minds and bring enlightenment with it. show less

This book presents a great counterargument to the points raised by J.L. King in his book, On the Down Low. I read both for a class and Boykin's book is stronger and more well researched by far.

I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting from this book but it seemed to be a re-hash of all the other talk about down low behavior. The book seemed to be the author's personal response to author JL King, another bisexual writer who wrote on the down low phenomenon.
